Evil Overlord rule 58 My doomsday device will not employ a large red digital countdown device unless it is absolutely necessary. If a countdown device proves to be necessary, the doomsday device will be set to activate when the counter reaches 00:10:00, rather than 00:00:00.

ifconfig still does not show the ethX card ( just the wlan0) and /sbin/ipw3945d still gives "error opening /sys/bus/pic/drivers/ipw3945: no such file or directory"

looking in /sys/bus/pic/drivers/ i see iwl3945 but dont see anything like iwl3945d in /sbin.

arrgh!

Thanks for looking this for me!

ipw3945d and therefore iwl3945d is not used anymore. I have the same wifi card in my Lenovo. With the new driver the card registers as wlan0.

You also need to have the latest firmware. Look in /lib/firmware and see if the file iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode is there. If it isn't, google for it and you will be able to get it from Intel. Things should start working then.

Gamfa, Thanks for your help, I don’t know how long I would have had to beat my head against a wall before I figured it out!
